ParallelProgrammingTalk

It was sad when "Friends" ended, and who can forget the endings of "MASH" and "Jerry Seinfeld"? So it goes with ISN's "Parallel Programming Talk" show. Our last show was a fitting end to 130 radio and Web TV programs about all things Parallel. It wasn’t a “montage” or “retrospective” show but simply a great interview with one of our good friends and favorite guests, ISN Black Belt Developer Jim Dempsey.

Dr. Fortran (aka Intel's Steve Lionel), who is a friend of this show, dropped in on Clay and Kathy to discuss what we think is good news - the release of Fortran Studio XE 2011. Below the video are some notes and links that I think you will find useful.

Kathy and Clay met with University of Guelf's Dr. William Gardner about "Pilot" - "A new method of programming HPC clusters that leverages standard MPI while being easier for novice users to understand and utilize."

Clay Breshears and I met up with Intel Software Customer Quality Engineer Noah Clemons - our community's newest Black Belt Developer, at the 2011 Intel Developer Forum in San Francisco. He told us about his IDF activities - lots of presentations and a lab, and shared his feelings about becoming an
